  • La psychothérapie centrée sur les émotions

    • 1st Edition
    • Ueli Kramer + 1 more
    • French
    La psychothérapie centrée sur les émotions (TCE) se base sur l'idée « je ressens donc je suis », comme le dit Leslie Greenberg, fondateur du modèle. L'expérience émotionnelle nous informe sur ce qui est important dans l'ici et maintenant et représente le point de départ du processus de transformation au cours duquel certaines émotions sont approchées, acceptées, exprimées, et régulées, afin de leur donner du sens et de les changer en profondeur. Ce livre a ainsi pour objectif de fournir les bases théoriques, méthodologiques et pratiques de la connaissance et des tâches centrales de la psychothérapie centrée sur les émotions. À ce titre, il place la TCE dans le champ de la psychothérapie actuelle, y compris dans celui de la recherche portant sur les émotions et sur les processus de changement, en explore les interventions spécifiques et explique les mécanismes de changement sous-jacents. Il est richement illustré par des exemples cliniques d'interactions avec des clients présentant des problèmes psychiques spécifiques. Cet ouvrage destiné aux professionnels – et futurs professionnels – de la santé mentale (notamment les psychothérapeutes, psychiatres, psychologues, et psychanalystes), est le premier livre en français consacré à ce sujet. « Admiration (pour le travail effectué), gratitude (envers les auteurs), plaisir (de lecture) et excitation (à l'idée d'intégrer ces idées dans mon travail de thérapeute) : voici quelques unes des émotions que j'ai éprouvées en découvrant cet ouvrage, consacré à l'une des approches psychothérapiques actuelles les plus précieuses et fructueuses. Je pense que tous les thérapeutes éprouveront eux aussi ce même genre de joies grâce à cet excellent outil de découverte et de travail ! » Christophe André, MD, Médecin psychiatre, hôpital Sainte-Anne, Paris, France. « Voici un livre qui capture, avec éloquence et expertise, la complexité théorique, la richesse clinique et les fondements empiriques de l'une des approches prédominantes de la psychothérapie contemporaine. Tout en s'adressant à de nombreux types de problèmes psychologiques, il démontre quand et comment implanter une large palette de techniques pour amener le client à identifier, approfondir et transformer son expérience émotionnelle et cognitive, afin de reconnaitre et affirmer ses besoins, résoudre des conflits intra- et interpersonnels et développer un parcours de vie harmonieux avec soi et les autres. Il appartient à la bibliothèque de tous ceux et celles qui désirent approfondir leur compréhension du processus de changement en psychothérapie et enrichir leur répertoire d'interventions thérapeutiques. » Louis G. Castonguay, PhD, Professeur de psychologie clinique, Penn State University, États-Unis.
